THE GEORGIA PJtESS,
Gen. A. J. Hassell, member of the
Legislature from Cobb county, and
prominent citizen of that section, is se
riously ill with pneumonia. ,
Yte quote as follows from the Marietta
Georgian: “
Elopement.—We understand that a
young Swedish woman recently In the
employ of -a gentleman of this vicinity,
left last week for Wisconsin, accompanied
by a yonug colored man named Dock
Bond. It docs not appear that they had
been married, though their relations were
such, according to report, as usually at
tend the married state.
Teh, ensrgy and strict attention to bus
iness aio the true guides to success. Ten
years ago a friendless Marietta hoy went
to Atlanta and began life as a cleric in a
store at $15 per month. To-day he is a
street car driver.
It reminds us somewhat of old times'
to read such paragraphs as the following
from the Columbus Times: Yesterday
morning a negro who was sauntering
through the store of Mr. F. J. Springer,stole
therefrom several articles, lu the after
noon he was arrested by Policeman
Bowen and taken to the store. Mr.
Springer then gave the negro Lis choice
between being prosecuted aud taking a
goodlaablng. The negro preferred the
latter, and justice was administered right
on the spot.
Ip Chief Justice Jackson’s place can be

The Atlanta Constitution of Wednes
day night, falsely dated Thursday morn
ing, has the following:
Counterfeit Monet. — Within ilio
past month $1,617 in counterfeit money
has been detected In Atlanta. Some .of
the bills composing this amount have
been held >jy haulG3 cbnSldSreS
them doubtful for quite a while. The
majority of the counterfeit notes was of
Ibe denomination of tens, though some
few $100 notes were among the number.
One of the bills, a fifty, cost a sporting
gentleman, who is well known in Atlan
ta $1,COO. During the last agricultural
fair the note war presented at a faro table,
and from the chips first bought with it
the $1,000 was won. These counterfeit
bills were detected by Mr. F. M. Rooks.
The Griffin Bank.—Treasurer Speer
and the Griffin Banking and Trust Com
pany have been in communication for
several days, the bank, which is one of
the State depositories, having decided to
pay into the State treasury the amount
due the State and thus close the accounts
between the hank aud the State of Geor
gia. Tne name now noias about twenty-
five or thirty thousand dollars of State
lunds. The Treasurer submitted the
question to the Attorney General, and
was advised that, as the law declares that
he shall take the money only for the
needs of the State and as the appointment
was made and the bonds fixed by the
Governor, that he had no authority to
close the account, and thus the matter
stands.
A Taylor county negro killed a rattle
snake last week which sported twenty-five
rattles and a button.
Mrs. Isaac Cohen died in Savannah,
Wednesday, aged 84 years.
Mr. Joe Collins, of Spalding county,
who accidentally shot himself last week!
died Sunday morning.
We find the following in the Athens
Banner:
Mbs. General Cobb.—From Majo
Lamar Cobb, who has returned lrorn
Atlanta, we learn that the operation lor
cataract which Dr. Calhoun expected to
perform on Mrs. Cobb’s other eye will be
postponed until next fall. The eye already
operated on is doing just as well as it pos
sibly could be expected to do, and Mrs.
Cobb considers the sight she derives from
it as perfect.
Ex-Mayor Sam B. Cleg horn, of Co
lumbus, died last Tuesday in that city,
after an illness of several weeks. He was
a gallant soldier on the right side during
the late civil war, aud lost one leg aud part
of one hand at Gettysburg. He has been a
messenger in the House of Representatives
at Washington for the last four years.
The Augusta Chronicle gives the fbl
lowing additional facts in reference to the
Wbeless and other boats on the Sa
vannah river: The cargo from Augusta
consisted of 503 bales of cotton, a car
riage and a pair of horses and one safe,
belonging to Warren, Wallace dfc Co.
The cotton was all fully covered by insu
rance, aa follows: Berry Benson, 154
hales, $4,800; Wright & Crane, 46 bales,
$2,070; J. J. Doughty, 222 bales, $11,400;
Nowell & Franklin, 171 bales, $6,700—
$24,070. The burning of the Wheless re
calls some reminiscences of steamboating
on the Savannah river just after the war.
Among the steameia at that time, w as the
Christopher, a fast boat which ran from
Augusta to Savannah in twenty-four
hours. She burned on her second trip,
but had made enough to pay for herself,
Within two thousand dollars. The R. H.
May was built in Aucusta and fitted up
with a locomotive boiler, taking five, and
sometimes ten days to snake a trip, but
she made eighteen thousand dollars in one
trip, and coined monej for her owners be
fore she was finally destroyed by fire.
The charge to carry a bale of cotton from
Augusta to Savannah was six, and often
ten dollars a bale. The charge on other
freight was five dollars a hundred, and it
cost aa much to bring a box of soap from
Savannah as It did to pay for it in the first
Instance.
The Albany News says some scoundrel
threw a large stone through a window in
the house of Mr. A. B. Weston, of that
place, last Monday night, which narrowly
missed the head of a little child who was
asleep in a bed under the window.
A^Veteran Subccriber.—Savs the
Atflens Banner: We have had a call from
Mr. John W. Fruit, of Banks county. Mr.
Froitt has been a subscriber to the Banner
nearly forty-six yean, and a reader of it
, longer than that. In September, 1835, he
came down to Ajbens from Banks county,
to buy a suit of clothes to be married in.
While here, like a sensible man that he
was, be concluded that any man who waa
going to take a wife ought to take a good

The Pcrry Home Journal says: In the
Superior Court hefe last week there was
a case in which one farmer prosecuted
another for hiring a farm hand that was
already under contract for the,year. The
juiy gave a verdict., for the plaintiff Mid
the court imposed a fine. of thirty dollars
and costs.
The whisky ticket won in the late
town election at Greensboro, and the li

The Hawklnsville Dispatch tells the
following “joanner” anecdotes:
*» Some days since a guano agent in
Hawklnsville “courted” a fanner for his
guano trade. The farmer finally decided
lo puichasca load, and driving to the
warehouse, loaded his wagon with the
'■precious stuff” and drove home. After
the fanner had left town the guano ageut
learned that bis customer had failed for
several lessons past to come to time on
guano notes, and the agent immediately
matured plans to induce the farmer to
haul the guano back. He wrote the far
mer a very polite note, stating, that he
(the farmer) had receiv’d the wrong
brand of guano, aud requesting him to
return the load and get the “particular
brand” he wanted. The fanner brought
liis load back, and, after unloading it, he
was politely informed that the “particu
lar brand” he desired had not arrived.
Further comment in regard to this trans
action Is unnecessary.”
And still another: “A farmer called at
one of our warehouses the other day for
a load of guano, and while loading his
wagon, it was observed that he was very
particular about selecting the sacks con
taining it—picking the most serviceable
sacks. When questioned about the mat
ter, he replied : “Ob, I only use the suff
because it is fashionable, and as the sacks
is about all I make by using it, I want
good ones.”
The Dispatch learns from McRae that
many “of the German emigrants who were
brought to this country a few days ago by
the Georgia Land anu Lumber company
have become dissatisfied and are leaving.
Thirteen of the men left to-day for Sa
vannah and several left a few days ago.
They are mechanics and expect to find
employment and better wages in Savan
nah. About a dozen will remain In Tel'
falrand engage in agriculture.”

Inz Griffin Hews is free to remark that
“the Macon Telegraph has decidedly
the better of the contest with the Consti
tution.” And so says the public, aud all
its sisters, and its cousins, &nd its aunts.
The Barnesville Gazette has the fol
lowing:
The case of J. C. Zom vs. H. J. La
mar, carried to tiie Supreme court from
Bibb county, has been withdrawn by the
defendant. Mr. Lamar having withdrawn
the bill of exceptions through his attor
neys, the judgment of the court below
stands.
The Cochran Enterprise says, last Sat
urday, Henry Harvard, a negro farmer
living on the line of Laurens and Pu
laski counties, sold in that town a fine lot
of home raised hams at a price that made
him whoop with delight. On the same
day, a merchant of that place received
an account of the sale of one bale of
cotton sold in Savannah at 1J cents per
pound.
We mutilate the-fair proportions of that
capital paper, the Borne Courier, to the
fcl lowing extent:
A Bully Receives a Bullet.—From
two gentlemen residing in the Immediate
vicinity we learn that, on Tuesday last,
Bill Neighbors, a noted desperado living
near Cross Plains, Alabama, strolled into
that village, got drunk and swore he
would clean up the town. The first thing
that attracted his attention after he got
.drunk was a freight train moving along
the Seima, Rome and Dalton railroad.
He sa w the conductor, Mr. Clay Keith,
standing in the calaboose door, anil
pulled out his pistol and fired at him,
but fortunately missed Ids aim. His next
object was to make the merchants close
their doors. He did compel two or three
to close up, and seeing that Mr. Al. Woir
had disobeyed orders, he walked into the
store and in a peremptory manner again
ordered him to close. Wolf refused, aud
then Neighbors began firing his pistol,
emptying lour loads In a minute and a
half without striking the merchant. The
bully then left the store for a few mo
ments, supposed to have gone for more
whisky aud to reload his navy. Durimg
his absence Wolf procured a Spencer ri
fle, and when he saw Neighbors approach
ing him again with hostile intentious, lev
eled on him, fired and sent a bullet
through his stomach, lodging against the
backbone. The ball was cut out by two
physicians, who say that Neighbors & in a
very precarious condition, and that the
wound may prove fatal.
Railroad News.—A friend of the
Courier in his recent, travels met Jay
Gould; the great railroad king, and had a
long talk with him on tlic subject of rail
roads. He informed him of a project now
on foot which, if successfully followed
up, will result m a great benefit and con
venience to commercial travelers in par
ticular, and the public in general. Mr.
Gould says that a convention of the va
rious railroad managers throughout the
United States will be called to meet this
summer at some centrallv located city,
perhaps Cincinnati, to take into consider
ation the feasibility and advisability of
establishing a uniform rate of travel and
to allow the purchaser of a thousand mile
ticket to travel on any ot the pooled roads
on that ticket. The conductors will tear
off the number of miles traveled, aud re
turn the coupons to headquarters of his
road, which, in turn, will be forwarded to
the central consolidated office to be cred
ited to the account of the road forwarding
the coupons. The idea is replete with
useful argument, and, as Tom Scott and
the Louisville and Nashville Company
join Mr. Gonld in the undertanlng, the
success of the plan is hardly debatable.
The roads are to allow drummers to cany
250 poundspf baggage instead of 100, as
heretofore ' prescribed. The business
community will be glad to learn of this
contemplated wise change.
The Cartersville Express reports the
burning, last Saturday night, of Die couu-
try home of Mrs. William Aubrey near
that place. Nothing was saved. The loss
will reach nearly $4,500.
The Barnesville Gazette says the sheriff
closed oat the entire stock of the ab
sconding merchant, D. J. Evans, last Sat
urday, realizing $2,108.83. The expenses
were $114.18. C. C. Holmes held the old
est claim, which amounted to $53.90. The
claim of A. C. and B. F. Wyly & Co. was
$1,780.05. These two claims paid, there
was a balance of $949.70 left in the hands
of the sheriff to pay up the other innumer
able claims.
The Cochran Enterprise says “Mr.
Seaborn Jones has lest during the present
winter three oxen, twenty-four head of
other cattle, forty-eight head of goats, and
about half the bog* and sheep be had.”

Wk entirely agree with an Atlanta cor
respondent of the Savannah News in the
opinion expressed by him that “it is amus
ing to see the frantic efforts of certain in

that the Georgia Railroad Commission has
caused the rapid increase in Talus ot the
Georgia railroad and dcntral railroad
stock, and that all the railroads' arc pros

THEGranitevilleandVauclose factories
near Augusta, have just had their annual
meeting. They are under one manage
ment, and show net earnings of 15 per

clared{_carrying $42,803.45 to the profit
and loss account. The company now has
a surplus fund of $168,573.21. They
constitute ono of the most

A Row Among the Soldier Boys.—
The Augusta Hews, of Friday, regrets to
learn that “after the contests at the Aiken
Fest, and while the Augusta companies
were watting at the platform to board the
traiu, yesterday evening, a discussion be
tween members of the Washington Artil
lery and Clarke Infantry over the military
contests grew from boasting 'and angry
words into blows and a regular melee.
Several persons were injured and a gener
al knocking down was in order, exhibiting
an excitement ntteriy at variance with
military discipline. A want of respect for
ladies present is also complained of in
particular instances.”
Carloads of hay are being received at
Cartersville every week, which readily
sells at $2.00 per hundred. Western
meat sells for 12 cents per pound, and
corn for $1.25 per bushel.
The Culbbert Appeal says a majority
in that section insist that two-thirds of a
fruit crop is in sight.
Signed and Sealed.—Under this
head, the Athens Banner says: “Mr.
George D. Thomas has returned from
Richmond, where he has been, as is well
known, engaged on the contract for the
transfer of the Northeastern to the Rich
mond and Danville. He reports that the
contract as drawn up in Athens, by the
city attorney, under Die direction of the
council, has been assented to and sigued
by the authorities of the Richmond and
Danville road. This contract is an ex
ceedingly favorable one to Athens. The
terms are as good as Athens could ask; in
deed they are better than she was dis
posed to ask at first. We cannot go into
tne particulars to-day, but will do so 03
soon as possible. Nothing now remains
but a vote of the people oil the ratification
of the action of the council.
;Mil J. Henry Turner, an old and es

The South Georgian says the house of
Millard Surreney, of Telfair county “was

with Its entire contents, Mr. S. aud his

old, barely escaping with their lives—not
even a shoe to their feet.”
IV e find the following oasis in the Co
lumbus Enquirer: A merchant of our
city a few days since visited bts planta
tion In Stewart county, a distance of forty
miles. He has traveled the road for sev
eral years and is familiar with the eouu-
try. On leaving the city he determined
to count the number of fields on tlie route
planted in cotton. The result of his ob
servations were that for a distance of for
ty miles only two fields were planted in
cotton, the others being in corn and small
grain,

Mrs. Patience Mapp, of Greene county,
who is visiting her brother Dr. W. L

bruises.
We find the following in the Savannah
Heics, of Friday:
The Stock Market.—The market for
Central stock was very much excited yes
terday morning, and so continued up to
about oqe o’clock, when it became quieter
and more steady. At the opening it was
quoted at 142§, and roso rapidly, sales
having been made at 143 and 144|. Dur
ing the evening it settled down at 144 bid,
145 asked, at which figure it closed dull.
About 1,500 shares were sold during the
day, aud rumor has it that Gen. E. P.
Alexander, vice president of the Louis
ville and Nashville road, was a heavy
purchaser. According to our special
from Augusta, elsewhere published, it
will be seen that the impression prevails
in that city that the present excitement
in this stock Is due to the fact that Mr.
Wadley and his associates, together with
the Louisville aud Nashville railroad,
havejecided that it is cheaper to pur
chase a controlling interest in the Central
than to rent the road. If this is true—
and the theory is certainly a plausible
one—as soon as this object is accomplish
ed, the excitement will cease, and the
value of the clock will be permanently
decided by the dividend which the pur
chasers will allow.
Georgia stock closed firm at 154 bid, 150
asked.
A runaway horse last week caused a
badly cut ear to Mr. John Lilly, of Fort

The Fort Valley Mirror says:
Bad Cutting Sc bape.—On last Mon
day evening. John Corbitt, a young white
boy of this place, got into a fight with a
little negro boy named John Raina, and
seriously cut him In the shoulder, side
and arm. The boy is badly cut aud may
:>ossibly die, although there is a chance
I 'or his recovery. lr the blade bad pene

an examination before the court.

spring the battling operators of Wall
Finding thi- market overs oldHrnd ilnA-
good strong undertone, a Tew wcalthy
oporators combine their forces and agree
to lift the market five or ten points.
■They quietly purchase at the lowest pos
sible ficu res 1 arge blocks of stock. Then,
after they hare made their purchase,
which have already given a stiff and
strong character to' the market, the secret
of the actiou of these great dealers is
somehow permitted to leak out by degrees
into the street.
At first i; is only the few rich men who
stand a round or two lower on tlie ladder
who are permitted to learn wbst is being
done—and they of course buy.
Then these few-favored rich men tell
those on the ladder a little below, find
they, too, buy.
Aud so on down the good news is per
mitted to pass, until at last, at the very
!a‘C, it reaches the hopeful and expectant
little lambs, who have been watching the
“boom” with delight and have almost al
ready made up lheir little minds to bny.
This information confirms them. They
tell it to each dtber in comers on the
street in husky and harried whispers.
They telegraph their “points” to their
friends in the couutry. “A mighty pool
has been formed 1 Gould is buying! Keene
is buying! Mill is buying! Vanderbilt Is
a bull! They are all friends now. The
market Is becoming'firm and stocks will
advance to the highest figures and stick
there like government bonds.”
These are the exprcssious.you now hear
on the street wherever you" go; these are
the sentiments you read in that portion of
the press which is under the pay of the
pool. And oh, these are lively days in
Wall street.
The whole city is jubilant. All around
Wall street, bright little hoys In uniform
are hopping about as thick as little hop
toads after a thunder storm.
The lainhs grin from ear to car.
“I told you to buy, didu’t I ? ”
“Oh, I knew there was going to be a
boom. Now just go in and win.”
“Why, don’t you know Gould made all
his money here'.’ See how easy it is. Any
man can do it who has the pluck,” etc. "
These are the pleasant bleatings of the
lambs as they see their lit'lo investments
begin to swell and show them a few hun
dred profit.
They get bolder now, about the morn
ing of tlie third day of tbo great boom,
and they double their holdings.
Meantime, the big men at the top of the
ladder, who organized the boom, are not
only selling, but have long since sold out
ail their holdings, and aro now selling
“short” to the lambs.

aging signs by the physicians, who have
froin the first h<w ui»ble tp agree or, to
settle upon any common theory of the
case, one boldlug.that the sleep is caused
by a pressure at the base of the brain,
while another maintains there Is nothing
wrong with the head aud describes Ins
affection in the broadly general term of
“a trance.” What tlie physicians want
to know Is what is the cause of the trance.
If tlie patient were to die it Is not unlike
ly that there would be somethin" ol a de
mand among the medical gentlemen for
his head. Already it has been incidental
ly bespoken by one, who, through the
strange contradictions ot human nature,
happens to be the very man who is,doing
his best to bring him out of his sleep
aud save his life. Dr. Erd-
man, the attending physician at
tho Almshouse, has had a theory
from the first that the trance is causod by
a pressure at tho base of the cerebellum,
and this view he stated to Dr. Baird, of
New York, eminent as a lecturer and
practitioner on the subject of Mesmerism,
who not only keeps In constant communi
cation with Dr. Erdnian, but paid a per
sonal visit to the Almshouse several weeks
ago, to examine the subject. He did not
think the trance was caused by any ana
tomical disarrangement and expressed tbe
opinion that tbe patient would come out
all right. He bad put whole classes in a
trance in the lecture room through mes
merism and looked upon this case from
the standpoint of a mesmeriser. He was
unable, however, by the exercise of his
art to bring the patient back to sensibil
ity.
THE SLEEPER’S MECHANICAL TRAITS.
Tlie strangest part of all, perhaps, is
the perfect ability of tho sleeper to do
anything that is required of him, provid
ed he is assisted by auotlier. Iu these re
spects he is exactly like a child. He
seems to have instinct, but not reason.
He cats his meals regularly, opening his
mouth without the least resistance when
food or liquid is Offered him and swallow
ing it as naturally as any person. His
chief diet is eggs and beef tea. In tbo
way of drink he is partial to both coffeo

eluded to speculate, and finding a farmer
who had not yet leased or sold his land.
he represented himself os an agent for a
wealthy company, with Instructions to
buy up land. The farmer was rather re
luctant about selling, but finally terms
were agreed upon and the papers were
drawn up and signed. Twenty dollars
were paid down to bind the bargain; $5,-
000 more were to be paid in thirty days,
and $5,000 more in six months,
He had but $5 to meet an obligation of
$10,000, but not despairing, he quietly
awaited the completion ot a well that
was being drilled near bis new purchase.
Tbe well was finished in five days after
the sale aud proved to be a good one. He
was offered $20,000 for tbe farm; but
$10,000 clear gam in five days did not
tempt him to sell, for another well was
beiug drilled on the adjoining farm, and
should it prove to be a big producer bis
land would be very valuable. On tbe
other band, shonld it bo a “duster,” be
could not even get as much for the farm
as. he had agreed to pay for It. - Still,
he did not sell, and tho time passed
rapidly away. Only a few days re
mained before he would have to pay
$5,000 or the sale would be canceled.
Twenty-eight davs had passed and the
well was not down yet, although they ex
pected to reach the oil rock every hour.
On the night of the 26tli day he sat up in
tho derrick with the drillers, for tney
knew that they were within a few feet of
the sand. Midnight came and tho hands
were relieved by another force. His last
day had come and was wearing away, aud
he knew that the fanner would not wait
ono minute longer than the law required
him, for be had been offered a larger
amount for the land. At two o’clock the
sand was reached, and the well proved to
be tho largest producer yet struck in tho
jiew field. The news of the new well
rapidly spread, and by noon the next day
a number of wealthy oil men were on tbe
ground anxious to secure the adjacent
territory.' That day the youug man sold
his farm of 110 acres for $1,000 per acre,
clearing In thirty) days $100,000, with
a capital of only $25 to start on.

Duringilio past four years Mr. Fred
erick Douglass has been United States
marshal at Washington. Previous to his
appointment the marshal had by conven
tional usage acted as a sort of chamberlain
in ceremonies at the White House,holding
intimate relations with the family. In
deed, ho was generally chosen with a di
rect view to that service.
■ Hayes appointed Douglass, but he never
permitted him to exercise these familiar
functions. Ho followed Grant’s example,
who sent Douglass as ono of liis white
washing commissioners to San Domingo.
When the commission returned to Wash
ington, all the members of it but Douglass
were Invited to dine with the President.
The “man and brother,” justly known to
famo as he is, was conspicuously omitted.
The professional patrons of the colored
race are willing enough to give them offi
ces at the public expense as a token of
philanthropic affection lor tlie negro; but
wheu it comes to any recognition of social
equality or personal intercourse, they beg
to be excused. Their fraternity is entirely
political. They want votes, and that is
all.
Mr. Douglass’ present commission ex-
; >ired on tlie 4tb of March. Before leaving
. Heritor, Geo. Garfield determined, as lie
had a perfect right to do, to give this place
to CapL Henry, a close friend, and an of
ficer who served iu his regiment during
the war. Instead of doing so promptly,
lie began to negotiate witli Mr. Douglass
for an exchange to some other office, being
afraid to displace liim. Mr. Douglass
wauted to stay in his easy,, comfortable
chair, stuffed with six thousand a year,
and ornamented with perquisites for his
sons and for liis peculiar friends.
These negotiations have been going on
ever since the inauguration, and .they are
not much further advanced now than
when they began. Meantime, the courts
have almost come to a standstill, and
juries cannot be drawn for tbe coming
term. Justice U deadlocked, like the
Senate. Mr. Douglass sticks, and Gar
field begs him to unstick. This it tbe
sort of President Ohio has sent to tbe
Executive Mansion.
on his breast, evidently as comfortable in
that position as any other. Let the at
tendant release his hand and more away, ho
will stand just the same; but let the former
take his hand and, moving along the room
draw it gently after him, the sleeping man
will walk without the slightest twitch or
change of feature, in a groping sort of
way, reminding one much of the.first
efforts of a child.
SIGNS OF RETURNING CONSCIOUSNESS.
Lately Gyumber has shown many signs
of returning wakefulness. If he is touched
on the chin lightly with tho finger he will
grin broadly. Yesterday Dr. Erdman il
lustrated a strange phase of bis disposi
tion. Propping one oyelid open with his
Huger there looked out upon tho doctor
and the assembled observers a light bluo
eye as clear and full of life and expression
as any pair of eyes til the room. There
were no signs of sleepiness about.it; tlie
whole expression was that of a wide
awake man, full of comprehension as to
external objects, it was bard to believe it
could be anything else.
Tbe doctor, holding the eyelid up and
with tbe eye looking out upon him, shook
his fist at him. Gyumbergrinned broadly
at this. It was obvious bis sight was all
right.
But here another strange thing was il
lustrated. Tho doctor took a penknife
aud, still holding the eyelid open, placet
tho end of the knife near the eye, then
slowly drew it away toward the side of
the sleeper’s head, in the cll’ort to discover
whether the eye would follow the object.
Tho result was disappointment. To all
appearances the eye was unconscious
the presence of the object held before it
The doctor then made a sudden rnotiou-
a3 though to strike the eye with
his knife, in order to see what ef,
feet it would have on tlie other eye, which
remained fast closed. There was not tho
least twitch to show that it was in the
least influenced by tho act. As soon as
the doctor removed bis hand the lid
dropped and both eyes were closed as
before. As ho stood there It was noticed
the eye-balls kept mo/ing behind the lids
as if from an affection of the nerve. There
were lines about »he man’s mouth which
were not there a week ago, and which
seemed, in tho doctor’s opinion, to indi
cate that he was latterly suffering some
paiu. The face was somewhat paler,
also. His long period of subsistence on
light diet is believed to sufficiently account
for this.

Tbe Terrible Condition of Affair* In
Fern—Scvcrnl of the Department/!
Besotted to Continue Hostilities to
tbe Bitter End.
fBy Telegraph.!
Panama, April 13.—Affairs in tbe Pe
ruvian capital, aud throughout that dis
tressed country generally, are in a worse
condition now than was considered possi
ble six weeks ago. Seusihle people looked
to the nomination of Seuor Calderon, a
patriot and estimable man, as provisional
president as offering a possible avenue of
escape from the tremendous difficulties in
which they were involved. They pre
sumed that tho new goveromeut would
not fail to win the support of all depart
ments of the country, but this hope has
been bitterly disappointed. Arequippa,
where the only visible remnant of Peru’s
military power is now to be found—a
wretched burlesque of an army of 7,000
men, half of whom have no arms with
which to oppose resistance to the Chilians
—has declared in favor of the dictatorship
ot Pierola and announced war to the bitter
end with Cbili. Fuira and several other
departments have followed the
same example, while the municipality
of Lima itself has not hesitated to in
crease the coufuslou aud disorder by open
ly resisting certain recent decrees of the
new president. It they continue to op
pose pacification, there appears to be no
other future before the country than con
tinued occupation by the Chilians, and
the exactiou of the last dollar available in
Peru for the Support of tbe army of occu
pation. Pierola is iu Jauga, aud his
emissaries in the southern aud northern
parts of the republic are active in tbeir
support of bis government. It is almost
certain that the government of Senor
Calderon cannot stand beyond tbe mo
ment tbe Chilian soldiers are with
drawn.
Dr. Rafael Nunez, the new President of
the republic, has been nominated as
candidate for President of the State of
Pauama. His chances lor election are
first rate. The Gazette of April 17tb coa-
tains the contract made by Lieutenant
L. N. B. Wyse with tbe local government

almost all the monueutu of each day occu
pied, and I believe I am going to lead a
bimy life. “Only a wile,” I must explain.
During the inventigaticn of the Presbyte
rian nm-ions. this query arose, “And what
do tho missionarieB’wives do ?” To which
was the reply made, “Why they attend to
their families and cheer their husbands.”
“Oh, then, they are only wives 1” High posi
tion, to.be sure, but I would like to'know
■what would becomeof the “missionaries” if
ti were not for their wives.
We are so pleasantly situated, and have so
many excellent friends among the English-
speaking people here, that I hardly feel as
if I dwelt among foreigners, or rather as if I
was a foreigner. Last week a Mr. Adams,
formerly of New York, a groat friend
of Dr. .Patterson aqd a warm supporter
of our mission, invited us to spend last
Wednesday evening with his family, with
tho request that I bring my music as there
would bo some Mexicans present who ware
fond of music. Miss Hallorah, Mr. Mao-
donoll and myself went and spent one of
tho most pleasant evenings imaginable.
There were two other gentlemen present iu
addition to the Mexicans. One of the Mex
ican gentlemen brought a German instru
ment with him, which made very sweet
music. One of tho gentlomen played tho
piano splendidly. Miss Adams found some
duets which Senor Carerer and myself
r-oou played with much pleasure, although
he couldn’t speak English, and I couldn’t
talk Spanish. We found each other, how
ever, congenial, and when leaving he
thanked me through an interpreter for my
music, and, according to Mexican customs,
“put himself at my disposal,” and hoped
that we would meet soon again. So pleas
antly had the time flitted by that it was
nearing midnight ere we thought of leaving.
Wo invited our new made friends to visit
us. One of the Mexicans speaks English
well. They are cousins, and belong to tho
best class of Mexican society. Ono of them
is the son of an ex-Presiuent. Our ac
quaintance hitherto h03 been with tho moro
ignorant classes, so you can imagine what
pleasure we found with these moro refined
Mexicans. Ido not kuow wlmt religion
they claim, if any. I suppose they are in
fidels. They have, through Mr. Adams,
sent word that they would be pleased to
honor themselves by spending next Wed
nesday evening with us. So wo anticipate
another treat upon that occasion.
These people have many customs that
are very different from ours in tho States,
and which impress us very mucii at first. I
suppose you read in my last letter how the
young people were managed, and how they
aro educated. The people gesture with ev
ery sentence and talk with tho body as
much as with the tongue. Suppose you take
tiie word “no.” They drawl it “no-o-o ? ”
as if there were interrogation prints after
it, at the same timo shaking their first fin
ger before your face. Instead of bowing
when they meet friends they hold up the
right hand, shaking the first three fingers.
When they want to epeak of anything as
being magnificent they put their right hand
to the mouth with the finger-tips touching,
and as they bring it away spread tho hand
open and every huger stretched as far as
possible - from tho other. A gentleman
bidding a lady farewell always says
“At your feet, Mis3,” or, “at your disposal,”
while tho lady says, “ I kiss your hand,"
which would bo very improper for her to
do, by tho way. The maimer of greeting
each other is very affecting, and to wo
Americans, very amusing. Where we onl;
shake hands, they hug twice and pat eai
other on the shoulder four times—twice
after each hug. Imagino my disgust and
amusement wheu I saw at tho Cathe
dral, a large, greasy woman and a priest
meet in this affectionate manner. There
are many other enstoms which would
amuse you, but I have not the time to men
tion them now.
Wo are in the midst of tho "carnival,”—
a great farce it seems to me. It has very
nearly fallen out of practice to mask and
dress in costume here, but is celebrated ns
a feasting occasion. Yesterday was the
principal day, and the people spent it in
riding and promenading. There were,
however, about two dozen boys dressed as
cooks, with large white aprons nnd caps
and some cooking utensils in hand, aud
about ono dozen in other costume 3 , and
among whom was your Darwinian ances
tor, tbo monkey, and his Satonio Majesty,
tho devil.
All this was very poor, indeed, but it was
entertaining to watch the crowd go by. As
far up above the Alameda as we oould see,
woro two rows of carriages. On one side
of tho street they were going to tho
“Pnsso,” and on tho other side returning
from this drive. It was so crowded that
tho carriages were hardly seen to move,

and oftentimes were perfectly still,
was supposed that over 3,000 carriages were
in use, and were crowded with tlie gayest
bedecked people it hns ever been my ill-
fortune to see. Sky-blue, pink, crimson,
old gold, nnd green silks were seen without
number; nnd lots of paint and powder
were used to make tho fair Indies charming
enoagh. The promenades were literally
jammed with people from every nation
and class; people from tho mostco3tly
dressed, down to tho poor Indian woman
with her huge bundle on tier back, each
spending tho lost “tlaco” (ljsf cents) for
some sort of “Dulce.” In tho middle of
the road were “guards,” on horseback,
bout tensBect apart, with ono facing ono
promenade and the next turned in tho
opposite direction. Ibis was done
to koep order and to prevent acci
dents. Add to this - tho ever
present peddler* of cake, candy, fruit and
ice cream, standing about two feet apart,
and each one screaming at tho top of his
voice, endeavoring to indace tho passerby
to purchase, and yon .liavo the picture as
seen from our window. This coming nnd
going was kept np until iato lost night, and
there was, apparently, • no purposo but to
see nnd be seen.
We are now in the midst of the warm
weather. March and April aro tho warm
est months in the year: tho rainy season
begins in Jane, and during tho months so
unpleasantly warm at homo wo liavo our
most delightful weather here. When I first
cams I suffered very, much from cold.
We have no fire-places, and tlioro was
no way of becoming warm except by cling
ing to every ray- of son possible. I nursed
every ray that entered my window, nnd like
Diogenes of old, growled if uuy one come
between. Now, however, tho snow is melting
from the sarrounding mountains, except,
ot coarse, “Popocatepetl.” This lias been
an nnnsnally cold year, I am told by others
who have seen many come aud go, and
know the charms of Mexican climate. But
such beautiful days as we now have I have
never known. Each day the sun shines
more brightly than the day before, and we
all unite in declaring each sunset grander
than tbe last. There are large, dark bine
mountains in tlie west, and each day os'.he
gold begins tinging the heavens, to become
so soon joined by bright crimson and bine,
our weak eyes seem almost too weak to
behold its glory. At last this bright orb
sinks behind the moontains as if ho was
loth to bid the earth good night, jast as a
tired child’s eyes aro closed in sleep. Un
der the impulse of the moment I always
foci like singing that old couplet—
“Go golden sun,
Farewell unlit to-morrow,”
and then, I long with the poet to know,
What world shall next be steeped in ijlo-
ry ?”
Bat to every picture there is a dark side;
and this is tree of Mexican life and scenes,
iu all other lands. In order to be able
to thoroughly appreciate these sights and
curiosities, one mast finish passing through
the acclimating period. Almost every for
eigner coming here has to pass through
months and even years of feebleness and
debility, from fever and other disease*.
When we oonsider tbe elevation and sur
roundings, it is not at all wonderful. Aa
the old Spanish doctor said this morning,
when he called to see Mr. Macdoneli, “We
are all like flowers; when we are first re
moved from the place wo call home, we
wither and droop, ont time and stimulants
work a change.” I don’t know about that
always, or were may bo exceptions. At
any rate, I am led to believe that I am
quite a hearty flower, as I have not felt the
first symptoms of a changing constitution.
The oooking and fruits are very disimilar
to oars at home, and one at first feels the
change very perceptibly. More anon.

Robeson W03 Secretary of tho Navy for
eight years daring the era of Grantism. In
that time he expended over $177,000,000,
and when he went ont of office he left to the
country a legacy of rotten hulks nnd a defi
ciency of scve/al millions as testamonials
of his corrupt administration.
He held over for eight or ten days under
Hayes, until tho arrival of his successor at
Washington; nnd in that short time he made
contracts for several millions with favorite
jobbers against all the rules of decency,
but in conformity with tho shameless venal
ity which was the feature of his whole ad-
niinislrutioi!.
Investigations by tho Honsoof Repre
sentatives proved conclusively that a ring
of thieveB ran tho Navy Department by
barefaced collusion with its head; that con
tracts wore regularly tolled by broker inti
mates of the Secretary; and that paymas
ters and others were the intermediaries
through whom systematic plunder was car
ried on.
The Republican party, in and ont of Con

anil in spito of the most conclusive proofs
of his guilty participation in these enor
mous frauds. He went into office poor, nnd
came ont rich. He converted tho depart
